Default Name my butterfly

It's got very raggedy wing edges, looks impressively like a dead leaf
when wings are closed. On opening they are orangey with dark spots in
a kind of mottled pattern, I think (weren't open long). It's currently
sat in the sun on a bunch of grapes.


That was probably a "Comma" (Polygonia c-album).
